Machine learning for material science

Machine learning has tremendous prediction to accelerate the design of novel materials. I currently collaborate with researchers at Princeton, the Colorado School of Mines, UIUC, and WashU on applications of machine learning and probabilistic methods to material science problems. We are developing new methods for active search, Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation, and combinatorial design. Current application areas include machine learning for alloy design, ML-assisted property prediction, and topology optimization of structural materials.
